St. George's - Roofs
St. George's is located at the eastern end of Bermuda. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
St. George's, founded in 1612, was the second English town established in the New World.
It is a wonderful place to send an afternoon wandering the maze of narrow streets.
One thing that you notice about Bermuda are the white stepped roofs.
The roofs are made of limestone and are designed to catch and channel rainwater into tanks under the houses.
Since Bermuda has no freshwater springs, rivers or lakes, the people rely on rain as their water supply.
As you can tell by the picture, they are catching plenty of rain during the down pore that struck while we were touring the city.
